Does everyone now agree that this has been a cracking world cup so far?
It’s better one of the best World Cups in decades.
Lots of interesting things going on so far. I retain the position that only about 6 sides have the squad depth and experience to win the competition but interesting watching which of those 6 will struggle most and which less heralded nations will go deepest.
Anyone who is not enjoying this World Cup so far needs to start watching another sport in my opinion
I’ve given up on the World Cup after last night. If the wrestling and play acting were not enough, now we have referees bottling it and using VAR as the excuse, e.g. the Iran penalty. Referee had lost control of the game long before that mind. Iran were embarrassing. I can just imagine how bad it will get with another 12 teams added next time who are not up to WC level.
It’s just not the game I love to watch any more.
All the things you mentioned are great, no argument there. It’s the other crap I’m fed up with. Players chasing the referee around making tv shapes in the air. Panamanian wrestlers masquerading as footballers. Pepe at the point of death due to a deadly tap on the shoulder. Good grief these are grown men. I know most pro footballers are not amongst the best educated people in the world but this is basic behaviour, have some respect for yourself. Then again many of them are loaded and don’t care.
I am really looking forward to City back in the Prem, but I fear we will see more of this crap again this season.
You act like it magically stops happening in the championship.
Yeah I hate all the playacting etc as well, and the least said about Pepe the better. Someone made a good point of he's got kids, how embarrassed would you be to have your kid see you doing that?! And the Panama wrestling was ridiculous, good to see it punished though and hopefully more refereeing like that will begin to stamp it out, they should start doling out punishments after the game for blatant diving too. Like a 1 match ban for Pepe, no appeal, just straight off the bat.
Maybe I find it easier than you to put that stuff aside and enjoy the good bits though. I hope you stick with it, it's a shame for the behaviour of a few dickheads to ruin what overall is a great tournament for you
Bump
Some great games going on....
